Harvey York could understand June Lee and Hazel Malone’s behavior.That was why he didn’t intend to enter the villa either. He just showed a warm smile and said, “Aunty, Hazel, get Yvonne Xavier for me.“There’s something I need to do with her. I can’t seem to get through her phone.”“Oh? Are you already planning to kill off Ms. Xavier after Ms. Fujihara?” June exclaimed with an odd tone.“Let me tell you right now. It’s useless!“I’ll never let a bad omen like you to ever step into our house!”“Every time you come here, bad things always happen!”Harvey bitterly chuckled.“Aunty, I’ll make sure to compensate for your family’s losses…”“Compensate?!“How are you even planning to compensate?!“Are you going to give us the number one villa?!” asked June furiously while jumping up and down.Harvey stood frozen in place.“Master Lynch gave me the villa, so I can’t just give it to anyone. But if you want to, you can stay there for as long as you like.”“You just want me to sta
Half an hour later, Harvey York and Hazel Malone arrived at the Bray Temple.Harvey showed a serious expression when he haphazardly stopped Hazel’s car in the middle of the road before rushing out.Hazel was utterly dumbfounded. It was her first time seeing a man being so uncouth, making her park the car herself.But she had no choice. The pink Rolls Royce was bought with loans, so she had to park the car properly. It would have been heartbreaking to see her car get scratched up.At the same time, Yvonne Xavier was already at the main hall of the Bray Temple.The sculpture of the Holy Trinity was there covered in gold foil, making it seem extremely extravagant.Even though this religious way of life could not compare to Christianity, the Bray Temple was very well-known throughout Mordu because of Chief Leonard Bray himself. Quite a few powerful families and wealthy businessmen would go in and out from the place all the time.Yvonne respectfully lit up some incense, then kneeled
Yvonne Xavier slightly shook her head.“Ms. Asuka, right? You haven’t explained everything yet.“For example, who sent you here?“Was it Hector Thompson? Or Sakura Miyamoto?”Asuka showed a warm smile.“You ask too many questions. But since you’re also a woman, I’ll tell you something that might intrigue you.“You are truly a beautiful woman, Ms. Xavier. You must be confident enough to think that men wouldn’t even have the heart to harm you.”Yvonne’s pupils contracted slightly.“But a woman would surely go above and beyond to deal with you.“Don’t blame us, Ms. Xavier. Blame yourself for being so unlucky, catching Young Master Thompson’s eye like that!”Asuka’s right hand was resting on the hilt of her longsword while she was talking.At the same time, four more Islanders wearing bathrobes while holding Island Nation longswords showed up in the backyard, cutting off all of Yvonne’s escape routes.Yvonne frowned while looking at the chief who led the way. “This is a sacre
There was not a single sliver of fear reflected in Yvonne Xavier’s eyes when she let out a warm smile. “I have to admit. Your lady’s head isn’t really functioning well.“Doesn’t she realize that the best things for men are unobtainable?“When I die, I’ll turn into a memory inside Hector’s heart. After that, your lady wouldn’t even have a chance.”Asuka chuckled with an odd tone.“Us Islanders like to study men’s thoughts the most. Do you really think I’d let that happen?“Don’t you worry, Ms. Xavier. You’ll turn into just a fleeting memory in due time.”Yvonne’s gaze turned cold. She had a bad feeling about her situation.“What are you planning?!”Asuka shook her left hand, revealing a small porcelain bottle in her hand. “This right here is called the Anti-Chastity Vial,” said Asuka, full of excitement.“Legends say that if a woman drinks this, she would need to find a man in three minutes, no matter how strong-willed of a woman she is. And then, she would need to find mor
Fwooosh!Without Sakura Miyamoto’s orders, the three Islanders pounced right toward Harvey York after frantically changing their expression.One of the women wanted to get close to Yvonne Xavier so she could take her hostage.Bang bang bang!Without Harvey even doing anything, a person wearing a robe showed up and started to swing his duster around. The duster split all of the longswords in half while sending the women flying. Every single one of them crashed into the walls while coughing up copious amounts of blood. None of them had any strength left, even to struggle.“You rascals from the Island Nations. How dare you cause trouble inside the Bray Temple? Do you really think the people here are just jokes to you?“Filth!”Chief Leonard Bray appeared in a flash before shaking the duster in his hand. Threads that seemed like metal wires flew out from the duster, piercing the foreheads of the Islanders.Another person was lying flat on the ground while covered in a puddle of blo
Seeing Asuka as if she was a tiny kitten trying to show off, Harvey was not fazed at all. “You’re not worthy to even fight me,” said Harvey York calmly.“Let me see your strength, Tyson.”Tyson Woods nodded, then showed a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.After the battle last night, Tyson had solidified his training.He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, then took a step forward. His entire body flew right toward Asuka like an arrow.“A mere gangster dares to duel me?!“You must have a death wish!”Asuka chuckled coldly. She was an outstanding professional even compared to this batch of people sent out by the Shindan Way. She had the utmost confidence in her own strength.She believed that she would be able to defeat anyone in a duel.Fwoooosh!A bright light flashed mid-air accompanying Asuka’s swing of her longsword right toward Tyson’s throat.Island Nation Swordsmanship was never about elegance. Quick and decisive blows were the principles of their swo
Harvey York and Yvonne Xavier felt utterly speechless.The situation was utmost dire. A storm was coming.But then someone locked their car’s wheel.The outrage could be felt from the two.Harvey picked up the ticket and took a few glances at it.“It’s from the Bray Temple’s security.“A few security guards can just lock any car and give out tickets as they please? Do they think they’re chief inspectors now or something?”Harvey wanted to call Chief Leonard Bray, but then he remembered he didn’t have his phone number.At this moment, two security guards who seemed to be in their forties walked toward the two arrogantly with cigarettes in their mouths.Both of them were wearing their slanted hats, sizing up Harvey and Yvonne with a judgemental gaze.The security guards were showing utter disdain when they saw Harvey. Clearly, they thought that Harvey was just a poor fool.Instead, when they saw Yvonne, their eyes lit up immediately.Such an alluring woman like this was at le
“Such big words coming from a security guard. Do you think you’re the king or something?” said Harvey York calmly.“First, you asked for money, and then you want us to come with you.“You don’t actually think that you represent the law now, do you?”The security guard took out his walkie-talkie and spoke into it for a short while. Soon, a dozen other security guards appeared out of nowhere.All of them were looking at Harvey playfully but filled with derision.A security guard ran over and pointed right at Harvey’s nose.“Let me tell you something. I’m the law in this parking lot!” He coldly exclaimed.“Fine!”Harvey nodded, then took a step forward and swung his palm.Slap!The leading security guard was immediately sent flying, smashing right onto a car as a loud bang echoed throughout. Sirens were going off everywhere around the parking lot.Harvey did not even gander at the security guard who was sent flying. He brought out some tissue paper and started wiping his hand.
"You are as well-spoken as they claim, Mr. Representative," Blade said coldly. "I wish he didn't die, since I watched him grow up. However, the fact is, he's dead. We have enough evidence to prove that you caused it. So, let's not waste our time and come with us. This is better for all of us."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Blade, is it? I don't care who you are, but my boss never lies. If he said that he didn't kill that man, then this has nothing to do with him. Don't pin the blame on someone innocent!"Blade looked at Harvey icily. "We wish that he could be innocent too. If that's the case, that's an even better reason for you to come with us. Since he's being suspected, he should come to prove his innocence at the very least."Yvonne snapped, "You think very highly of yourself! You can make anyone the suspect because you say so? You can take anyone with you because you want to? Do you know that he's also the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? In some way, he'
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
Durandal raised his eyebrow when he heard Harvey's provocation. He was quite shocked that Harvey was able to see through everything with such ease, but he didn't show much of it. He simply said coldly, "No one can order me around. I simply didn't like you. So? Go on! Kill me if you're really as powerful as you make it sound."Harvey sighed. "I'm trying to talk some sense into you, but you refuse to listen to reason. I never said I wanted your life. All I want is your hand. Since you refused to choose the option I'm giving you, I suppose I'm going to take what's mine."Harvey took a step forward, grabbed Durandal's right hand, and then twisted it.Snap!There was a snap, and Durandal's right arm was twisted into an irregular shape. Durandal suppressed the pain inside of him, but he was also quite shocked. He never expected that, despite being a superior martial artist, he would be completely useless when facing Harvey. The moment Harvey attacked, forget resisting—he didn't even
Durandal and his men's faces changed when they saw how calm Harvey was. They looked at Harvey with shock. It was obvious they didn't realize that Harvey had already made all sorts of preparations. He was ready to set them up all along—all he needed was for them to be in position.Meanwhile, Mandy and the rest of the Ninth Branch's senior members looked enlightened. They finally realized why Harvey was so confident. He had already found out the Boxing Champion's weakness!Meanwhile, the young fighter was also very prideful. Once he knew his opponent's weakness, he would do everything he could to become victorious.In short, this was not just a mere match. Before both sides began fighting, both sides had already planned and executed their strategies.Durandal's eyes narrowed. He didn't continue to verbally defend himself, and simply glared at Harvey. "I didn't expect that you've got quite the brain…"Harvey smiled. "I love it when others underestimate me. Because, that way, I can
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
